Selfishness Is The Key

There is no way I would have ever received the following message from my daughter if I had not become relentless on working on myself. “The better you become, the better you are for others” That is my quote and that is congruent with the principle of being selfish in the interest of being able to serve others the best.

Consider—if you are sick, how can you possibly help another? If you are stressed, how can you possibly relate well to your spouse, children, friends, clients? Do you see the only way you can truly help another or make a difference in the world is by being on purpose and continuing to become better yourself? We come at helping others from a position of strength, vibrancy and confidence.

This is the message from my daughter today ”

“Today is my dads (*insert mid-30’s number here*) birthday. He likely thought I forgot since I couldn’t text/call as I was at school from 8:30am-11:45pm. However, two nights ago we had a conversation that was over an hour long, and a wonderful one at that. It seems as him and I have both grown older, intelligent, and sensible, so has our tender relationship.

With that, he knows I was thinking about him all day today, particularly when my surgery partners and I performed a celiotomy and neuter. If it wasn’t for his unyielding support, encouragement, and delight he takes in my accomplishments as I pursue my professional veterinary career, I wouldn’t be where I am at today. His determination and vigor for work and life have molded me into a successful, respectable young woman. For that I am very thankful. Steve Pohlit, you may be 2,106 miles away but the distance between us means so little when you mean so much to me. Happy Birthday, Dad. I love you!

I am so grateful for:

1. All the teachers and guides that I have studied who have helped me progress as a person. Without you, I would have never become a person who could influence anyone in a positive way. Because of you and the action I took from what you taught me I became a better person and then I was able to help others. Make no mistake this is a journey and I make no representation that I am anywhere near my potential. I have made a lot of progress. Thank you: Catherine Ponder, Randy Gage, Joe Vitale, Temple Hayes, Wayne Dyer, Neale Donald Walsch, Napoleon Hill, The I Am Discourses, Deepak Chopra, Science of Mind, Daily Word and so many others.

2. The openness of my daughter to receive ideas and guidance that I and others offered. When I least expected it , she would say something, write something or do something that in her own way told me she was paying attention and some things were making a difference.
